landroversforever Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 When you hit the bumpstop at speed it automatically slows you down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW8IZR Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Nice gloss finish on the inside of the rim though... assuming that is the inside of the rim :-) trouble is, that’s the kind of stuff that will eventually nail home repair of vehicles..

V8 Freak Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Was all the pipe he had left is my bet..... Doesn't look like they use the bump stop much so will be fine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The leaves are really rusty, and starting to splay out at the bottom, probably got a cracked on in there somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missingsid Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Looking the condition of the vehicle I am ammazed that they thought the brakes we the most important place to start working on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 It's probably old enough to be mot exempt so there's no problem it must be roadworthy. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sparkes Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I was going to mention the springs; with that much rust between the leaves the springs will be so inflexible there is no danger of the bump stop coming into play. Even if they did, the soft rubber will just flex around the pipe, won't it? One from the Gresham Vehicle Maintenance Academy.

Anderzander Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Nice gloss finish on the inside of the rim though... assuming that is the inside of the rim :-) Yes ! And new shocks too.

Sheffield Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Are not the sping clips holding brake pads on the wrong way round? The manual appears to show the two little upturned tags in the middle should face one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manual appears to show the two little upturned tags in the middle should face one another. I think it's got more to do with the bent nails holding them in place (the spring plates won't fit the other way round. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Obvious - he hasn't cut his cable ties flush, probably not used the proper tensioning tool either. Some people are animals.
